How Copper wa. obtained

Copper Is very widely distributed in the

of obtaining copper were formerly prac-
tlced, as this extract from an old English
book will show: There are two springs

richly lmpregnated with copper aud sui

Near these springs pits are dug and filed
with water. Ola iron is then thrown into
them, which, ia about fortnight or three
weeks, is taken ont and the copper
scraped off. BY this process loo pounds
Of iron will prodsce from eighty to ninety
pounds OF copper. The same method is
adopted ~ some springs in the county
OF wicklow, in Ireland, and here twenty
pounds OF iron will yield sixteen Of
copper, which fstches high price.

A Babbit Metal BONANZA.

There is q good joke on some one
concerning the "Babbit Metaln ledge.
Capt. Tully, Johnny Coleman and Ed
Pease had been prospecting all through
the pine hills, looking for ii; Tom
Irvine sent a piece of the 'rockn TO
Butte for assay, and Judd after expert
menting with blow pipe left us all as
much Ia the dark as ever. The Wis.
ions Of wealth which have proved 30
dazzling must now submit TO pass
under the yoke OF commonplace.
Tom Irvine procured his specimen
from Michael Kircher. who In turn
discovered mass Of the metal partly
mixed with sand near the site Of the
old mill. The situation resolves itself
into this easy explanations: When
the mill was in operation, as is usual
in machinery of this kind Babbit
metal was used for bookings. This
mill was not different in this respect
from others, and the metal was used
and melted right there and some Of II

dropped on this particular ledge" OF
rock, and age end weather lent IL the
appearance Of q "bonanza."

The reduction of internal revenue

has largely benefited the consumers,
as we'll as relieving the burden of

this the case with Green's August
Flower and Boschee's German Syrup,
as the reduction Of thirty-six cents per

Supposed Fate of an O'Fallon
Cow Boy-A Riderless Horse
and Evidences of a Tragedy.
An L S Cow Boy Reported to

on the Red Water Range.

Probable Death on the Range.
Patrick Davitt, a young man about Is
years Of age, has this past season been
employed rs 'horse wrangler" at the
Hedges ranch on Box Elder, O few
miles from the Harmon & Hale home
ranch. About two weeks ago young
Davitt went out In the hills to hunt
up some stray horses and was seen
that day by neighboring rsnchman
driving the strays in, but since then
he has not been seen nor heard Of
The horse he rode came in in q day or
two and the side Of the horse bore un-
mistakable signs Of its having
fallen on Its side and the saddle pock-
ets were partly torn away on one side
as though the rider had attempted to
regain position IN the saddle by hang.
ing onto them. The supposition is
that the horse Davitt was riding
stepped into hole and fell aud that
the rider was either caught unoer the
animal and the life crushed out Of him
or else he became entangled in the
stirrup and the horse becoming fright
ened Kicked or dragged him to death.
A search party Of twelve was made up
from the neighboring ranches and a
large area of country has been searched
for signs Of the missing boy but 10 far
unsuccessfully. CAPT. Harmon, our
informant, says that another party
will be formed rs soon as the boys
employer, Mr. Hedges, gets back TO
the ranch and every endeavor will be
made to recover the remains, ii being
conceded that the boy Is surely dead.
In country Of the nature Of that in
which the tragedy was enacted it is
an almost hopeless task to find body
though one man might by chance dis.
cover it where an organized search
would fail. AS near rs can be learned
al this writing the boys father lives at
or near Terry and has not yet been in
formed of the mysterious disappear
ance Of his boy. The ranchmen in
that locality are very anxious to sat
isfy themselves by direct evidence of
the fate of the boy and give the re-
mains decenl burial.
